The relationships between museums and schools have been strengthened in recent years but little previous research has studied the activities that museums offer for children from 0 to 6. The present article analyses the role of early childhood education in museums' programs in Catalonia. A total of 118 museums and 296 activities have been analyzed…

Over the years, trauma-informed practices have been integrated into public schools. The purpose of these practices is to assist students dealing with trauma. Current literature supports the use of practices and reports various forms of success. There is a plethora of trauma-informed resources that school district leaders have access to. However,…

Most universities are facing a crisis of student wellbeing and high failure rates. Using the Conservation of Resources theory, we hypothesised that both study resources and personal resources (academic self-efficacy) could enhance task performance and improve wellbeing among university students. We conducted a cross-sectional study on 431…

Sex differences in academic behaviours have long been a concern for adolescent developmental researches. Evidences concerning sex differences in academic seeking help (AHS) behaviours are inconsistent. This paper aims to use meta-analysis to determine whether there is sex difference in AHS behaviours. After extensive retrieval and rigorous…

As community colleges and systems move away from developmental education and encourage students to enroll in introductory, college-level coursework to complete their math and English requirements, it is critical to provide students with additional academic supports to help them succeed. One such model is the corequisite course, a model that offers…

This research was conducted by the Department for Education (DfE) to explore the models, uses and perceived outcomes of in-school support units within mainstream schools in England. Ten mainstream secondary schools across England, including 12 members of school staff, were interviewed by DfE social researchers to understand the purpose, use and…

COVID-19 led to an increase in online higher education courses. With this increase in demand, there needs to be online support to foster students' academic success. Online academic student support is often provided to students to assist them in developing the skills and knowledge to successfully complete their courses. However, it remains unclear…

Mathematics Learning Support (MLS) has been widely available in Higher Education Institutions in the United States (US) for decades. However, until recently, there has been little research that considered the extent of provision. In this paper, we present the results of a survey of MLS with responses from 268 institutions across the US, which…

This study aimed to explore the opinions and preferences of students with special needs who receive resource room services. The participants included 113 students aged between 7 and 13 years, and data were collected through a questionnaire that focused on the students' experiences in the resource room. The findings indicate that students require…

Background: While surveys that measure readiness for online learning are not new, gaps exists in ensuring such tools are student-centered and directly inform student support strategies. Thus, a new orientation support program was creating for all incoming online students at a large public university. The Online Readiness and Student Success…

Purpose: The need to enhance student support is evident in higher education (HE) curricula. In addition to the complications created by the COVID-19 pandemic, the current strategies used in academia are criticised for their lack of appropriate student support in HE. The study focused on the themes under Section 4 of the National Student Survey…

As a result of California Assembly Bill 705(AB705, 2017) and California Assembly Bill 1705 (AB1705, 2021), most 1st-year students will enroll directly into transfer level math and/or English courses (Baca, 2021; Lopez, 2022; Melguizo et al., 2022; Sims, 2020). Students once placed into remedial coursework before enrolling in transfer level…

In this article, we explore the notion of sensemaking during the COVID-19 pandemic. Exploring sensemaking in periods of disruption and uncertainty can provide a deeper understanding of how distance education institutions can navigate future disruptions. We focus on support staff employed at one institution and their experience during remote work…

The positive impact of Math Learning Support Centers (MLSCs) on student performance is well-documented in existing literature. However, we argue in this study that many of these evaluations could be improved methodologically. Using a more rigorous approach, we investigated the effect of an MLSC on students' performance and affective variables in…

Colleges and universities typically assist students with learning disabilities. In Canada, such programs are legally mandated to ensure equal access to educational opportunities. However, there is little in the current research literature on the experiences Canadian students with learning disabilities have with using assistive services provided by…
